P-660 Series Support Notes

• Active

Turn 'Active' to 'Yes'

• Offset (in bytes)

Set to '6' since the source MAC address starts at 7th octets we need to skip the

first octets of the destination MAC address.

Length (in bytes)

Set to '6' since MAC address has 6 octets.

Mask (in hexadecimal)

Specify the value that the P-660 will logically qualify (logical AND) the data

in the packet.

Since the Length is set to 6 octets the Mask for it should be 12 hexadecimal

numbers. In this case, we intent to set to 'ffffffffffff' to mask the incoming

source MAC address, [00 80 c8 4c ea 63].

• Value (in hexadecimal)

Specify the MAC address [00 80 c8 4c ea 63] that the P-660 should use to

compare with the masked packet. If the result from the masked packet matches

the 'Value', then the packet is considered matched.

• Action Matched=

Enter the action you want if the masked packet matches the 'Value'. In this

case, we will drop it.

• Action Not Matched=

Enter the action you want if the masked packet does not match the 'Value'. In

this case, we will forward it. If you want to configure more rules please select

'Check Next Rule' to start configuring the next new rule. However, please note

that the 'Filter Type' must be also 'Generic Filter Rule' but not others. Because

the Generic and TCPIP (IPX) filter rules must be in different filter sets.
